Heat Layer System
These liner gloves are part of the Heat Layer System, which was developed for military units in Germany and Austria but now popular worldwide as multifunctional outdoor gloves. With this system, you combine different inner gloves (liners) with other layers depending on how much the weather hates you. This way you have one glove system that works in very versatile weather conditions and you get insulating air in-between the layers.
1st Layer: Liner gloves
The first layer of the system offers 10-20% of the total heat output. Choose the liner according to the weather and what you do in it.
2nd Layer: Warm Shell Mittens
The second layer on top of the Liners is the super warm Shell Mittens that are made in different material combinations. The finger compartment zips open and folds down when you need to be able to use your fingers or operate touch screens.
3rd LAYER: Polar Hood
The outermost layer consists of windproof and water-resistant pullover mittens that offer additional protection against wind and moisture. These triple layers are fit for the coldest and harshest regions of the world.
Heat2 Gloves
Fingerless gloves with a mitten cap. Made from fleece or softshell fabric and perfect for the transition seasons.
1st + 2nd Layer: Heat 3 Gloves
These combine the first and second layer into one entity. The liner and shell mitten are sewn together, which is excellent for folks that have a tendency to misplace gloves or those that just need winter gloves for one type of winter, cold.
Materials and care
These gloves are made from Polartec® Power Wool™, which is a knit fabric that combines the best of both natural and synthetic fibers without blending. Instead, each distinct fiber is placed where it can work to its highest potential. The highly breathable anti-odor Merino wool lies directly on the skin and feels soft and warm. Stretchy elastane in the middle ensures an excellent fit, and tough Nylon on the outside makes the Merino Liner more durable. Conductive textile on your fingers allows you to easily operate your touchscreens.They are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100-certified, which means that every component has been tested for harmful substances and the gloves are harmless for human health. The Merino wool used is from species-appropriate animal husbandry and cruelty-free wool, i.e. exclusively without mulesing.
Wash either using the wool program of your washing machine or hand-wash at 30°C (86 F).

Their extremely warm gloves have been used successfully on the tallest mountains of the world.
